The Most Difficult Part of Siding: Gable End Wall + Z Bar Flashing // DIY Workshop Build

[@darleneclark6098]

Can I just say how impressed I am that you trust Elijah's driving skills enough to get in that bucket!!! Way to go guys. 👏👏👏

[@Samcraftcom]

He's a top notch operator! Most of the time I don't have to communicate with him on movements, too. He watches and knows what to do. :)

[@tomrausch7014]

You are building way more than a workshop/carport/home, you are building memories with your wife and kids. My memories of my father stop July 4th 1967 just prior to my 9th BD when he worked an extra shift and while being raised (pre-OSHA) fell 20 feet on to concrete to his death. What you did was way way safer as you at least had a lift cage. Please be safe.

[@aussiegolddogcnc3d412]

You’re doing a great job Sam. Nearly finished the out side. You’re going to enjoy doing the inside. As we all will enjoy as well. Cheers 😊

[@Samcraftcom]

It's all downhill from here. :)

[@gilbertlane4522]

It was good to see your lovely assistant. I know this is Samcraft, but we have missed Angela.

[@Samcraftcom]

Our next video on Green Acre Homestead will be 98% her. :)

[@jakethewizard]

Just wanted to say, that sped up stapler sound is oddly satisfying

[@ericjohnson1008]

I can't wait for the tunnel/hallway build between the two shops. LOL The things we want to see.....

[@briantrout7051]

Shed builders will often build out that whole gable end, including the roof overhang, siding, and soffit, while it's all on the ground. Yes, it's heavier that way and can be more challenging for one person to stand up, but saves an awful lot of awkward work later on in the process.

[@timcottom8397]

I have enjoyed watching you build your shop. It will be very gratifying to know when you invite guests to your shop that you built it! Timothy

[@denisewilson8367]

LOL, I saw the bobbing way Elijah lifted you up to the roof edge. I thought it looked like he was going to flip you over in that basket like you flip a flap jack in the frying pan. I got a good giggle out of that one. Made watching the rest of the video thru the tears of laughter a little difficult, but I made it to the end. Your shop is looking really good, Sam.

[@carmineriganti2333]

Nice helper. Isn't it great to have kids that help.

[@mikepetitt9624]

Sam ….ya that basket sure saved your feet! Glad you thinking about your health! That building is sure looking nice! I love it!

[@mikewatson4644]

On many of the forklift attachments you can turn the forks upside down. If you can do that on yours, that would increase the lifting height of the man platform by about 2'. It does mean that you have to have the platform sitting 2' high to slide the forks into it. Possibly sitting on a pair of sawhorses of something else. Much safer than standing on a stepstool inside the platform. I have done similiar things, doesn't feel safe when you are doing it. Thanks for the video. The Workshop looks great

[@dennisg.wallace5445]

Merry Christmas from Travelers Rest South Carolina❤

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks! We've been through that area many times in the past. :) Great drive down 25 from the mountains into SC.

[@Samcraftcom]

Will do!!

[@mortenthenorwegian2875]

Good job 👍👍👍 Happy Christmas from Norway!

[@laurencehebert4880]

Hey Sam! I'm new to your channel and I really want to say great job! I'm really enjoying your content. I have lots of old videos to catch up on. Keep up the great work!

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@leslieapplegate65]

I'll bet you will be really stoked when you can finally move in and start working on your business!! It looks great.

[@Samcraftcom]

Absolutely!!!

[@sammcgee180]

Nice job if it works do it don't worry about OSHA that's a gov control outfit y'all have a merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@dper1112]

It's nice you remembered the z flashing this time around. Brings back memories of, what, 2 years ago? 3 years ago? :-)

[@Samcraftcom]

Terrible memories! LOL :) I think it's close to three years ago now... wow how time flies!

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

The heck with OHSHA common sense prevails with smart folks! Your son is a very good operator of the tractor! You have done a great job with your son!😁🛫

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good morning Sam

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Sam Angela & boys,that is such a nice work shop & an awesome addition to your homestead.WAY TO GO ELIJAH,YOU DID A PERFECT JOB HELPING YOUR DAD! Merry Christmas to your family.🎄❤️🎄

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Lookin wonderful Sam!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you!

[@darleneclark6098]

Where the heck was that thing when we were doing our siding😱🤯

[@emmamorton5701]

Well done Elijah. Good driving. Merry Christmas from uk.

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks, you too!

[@doncc6080]

Sam nice work but you did not show us the other gable end.

[@Samcraftcom]

Because that was the one I learned on to then show-and-tell on this one. :)

[@randomstuffwithjoe]

Man.. using that little tractor scaffold is making me wanna upgrade my little Kubota BX to something a little bigger. 🤣

[@krisknowlton5935]

Sam, a a front end loader or fork lift with a basket is always better than a ladder. I have a SkyTrak 5030 lift with a 3'x10' basket. It has saved me untold man hours not to mention the safety aspect. The highest I've had to get is 40' and I wasn't going to do that on a ladder. I am very familiar with down boom...level platform...down boom...level platform etc. You have something you can be proud of because you take pride in your work.

[@leviteapparel]

Yesss😂 I love ❤these videos more, more. Amazing 🔥🔥🔥💰💰💰💰

[@wendyburston3132]

Great build

[@jakerivera4913]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Your videos are truly DIY. Can I borrow your tractor with cage and your son to help me when I built my shop in 2024. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@heffe2001]

Everything looking good as always.. Have you started working on the layout you're going to use inside yet? Like, where is Lasertown going to be, where the external vents are, etc? If it were me, I'd run one large inline fan up on the gables (say, a 10" inline), and split that off to multiple 6 or 4" as needed with their own inlines. Yeah, it's more fans and wiring, but only a single large exhaust. You could even put powered dampners in the lines that you can have open and close if that particular fan is currently turned on, to prevent any drafts coming in. If I ever actually move my stuff into an outbuilding from the basement, that's my plan anyway. It could be a 'home automation' project too, where you have a system set up that if X fan is on, Y dampner opens, and if NO fans are on, the primary large fan cuts off, and a larger dampner there shuts off the whole exhaust. (I LOVE playing with my home automation stuff, especially where I can just make whatever device I need with some simple ESP8266/ESP32 modules and such. And if you haven't considered it yet, I'd absolutely be putting in some sort of 3d printing setup in that new workspace (I'd suggest a Bambu P1S or X1C), as you'd be suprised just what all functional stuff you can make for your projects!

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and working on your shop

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you so much & same to you!

[@peterweeding8023]

Merry Christmas Sam ,Angela and the boys hope 2024 is good

[@theresateegarden9147]

You are going to have it done in no time now! Great job! Merry Christmas to you and Angela and the boys.

[@susan_halla]

You make everything look easy, Sam!

[@tomowens2720]

Screws look terrible but at least you remembered the “Z” flashing this time. Best to have installed this before the house wrap in order to overlap it

[@kindness5130]

Looking sooooooo good. Blessings.

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you! You too!

[@darrellteeple6189]

Where in your build do you make the connection between both buildings? the Tunnel you referred to for the larger laser install?

[@Vintauri]

It’s looking great Sam!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks!

[@scottbyrd2157]

Merry Christmas to you all!!

[@Samcraftcom]

Same to you!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thank you Sam! Looks amazing! Merry Christmas! God bless your family!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you, Merry Christmas to you, too!

[@cliffolivent7901]

Looks great job

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks!

[@mrnathanchamberlain]

This is really fantastic! Thank you for making this! About to install Z flashing as we speak. Is there a reason you did not add Z flashing on the sides?

[@bobschallalcs584]

FYI most house wraps has to be installed with the lettering straight there are weep holes /slices which are cut on a slit angle down would

[@howardwilliams8993]

He's not using it in a traditional way. Normally goes outside of your sheeting. Don't think the way he's using it will matter about weep holes.

[@emilasmith4279]

Looks great! Merry Christmas to you and Angela and the boys! They sure are growing!!! ❤❤❤❤🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@maxinedurling3425]

Nice seeing Angela

[@scottbyrd2157]

SAM!! That was so funny watching you in the work basket with your son operating it. In fast forward it look like you was getting a terrible joke done to you and hanging on for dear life.. lol! Also some “old Benny hill” music would have gone good with it in fast forward. As always good video and well made. Glad you’re accounting for safety for your work. This type videos are the ones that get people because your focused on filming and accomplishing the work and not safety. Oh it’s Almost Christmas and I know here in SC it’s cold. Tennessee is way colder and your in shorts in short sleeves. NOT!! lol

[@woodworkergene5416]

I really have been enjoying watching this build. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. God bless you.

[@Samcraftcom]

You are so welcome, thanks!

[@lonis7456]

You always do great work. Great job!!

[@roberto.peterson9917]

?# couldn't the gable ends have been wrapped before setting ? just wondering i would of been tempted lol😂

[@shofarsogood7504]

I have been advised to not caulk the bottom side of that gable trim, but now bugs are getting in. There is no house wrap. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[@eugenex.p.3430]

I 👍 it!

[@charlesrose9530]

How do you measure the angle??

[@steveferguson1232]

Can’t wait to see how you layout laser town at backend and the the wood shop. Do you plan on doing piped dust extraction for your woodworking tools to help keep dust under control for laser town

[@Samcraftcom]

I will have to do some kind of dust extraction for the woodworking tools since the lasers are very sensitive to it (along with my computers, etc). I have my DIY dust collector still in use and will continue to use it until something better comes along. I would really like a permanent setup, but am still unsure of layout to know what to get yet.

[@watahyahknow]

theres a saying here als het niet gaat zoals het moet dan moet het maar zoals het gaat that freely translated to english saying : if it doesnt go like it should then it should work as it goes basicly means that if you cannot do thing acording to the rules you bend the rules to get the job done as good as you can (and dont let osha see you do it) looking at the solar panels , you might be able to mount those on the roof after you have the steel layed on it , seems only a little off in terms of facing the sun but will free up some room , and you can put a battery box under the floor of the new workshop

[@scotter_dotter]

Did you cut those gable pieces with a Lazer?🤔

[@Samcraftcom]

I wish I had a laser large enough for that work! :) I used my cordless circular saw.

[@MJMCHRONICLES]

Z-bar should have been taped?

[@howardwilliams8993]

Are you going to run sofit level? If so is the window trim in the way?

[@Samcraftcom]

It will be, yes. And it will just clear the window trim. I got lucky on that one!!

[@adamc3474]

The house rap looked like it was really annoying to put up. The shop is looking really good and I am still jealous of your awesome shop. Keep it up I'm enjoying the videos. Be safe, keep making, and stay awesome.

[@Samcraftcom]

The gable ends were more tricky than the main parts for sure!

[@longfellowsgirl7765]

😊❤

[@TheWoodHaven]

Starting to develop workshop envy :/

[@sniffles123mouse]

Where has Angela been?

[@Samcraftcom]

She has never been on this channel and only makes an appearance as needed for the construction.

[@sniffles123mouse]

@@Samcraftcom Oh. Thank you Sam. I was concerned about her. You and your boys are doing a great job. They will grow up with good skills and work ethic. 😁

[@vbyler3119]

Next time overlap the house wrap over the nail flange of the z bar

[@rixtrix11]

There needs to be a 3/8" gap above the z-flashing to the bottom of the upper siding to prevent capillary action from sucking water up into the siding and letting it rot from behind.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Boy that kid can sure drive a tractor! When he had you up there was the perfect time to asked for a raise on his allowance. If not agreed on, he could just literally walk away leaving his dad stranded…until you actually got down.

[@charlesgraham843]

I'm sure you will never forget to use Z flashing.

[@MrONELAST8]

Your children may not know it now but you are teaching a job skill whether it be new construction or home remodeling but bigger still you are able to show them how their school lessons are used in the real world: Reading and Comprehension (instructions, research), Math (read a tape measure, add/subtract and multiply fractions), Science(solar panels, electricity high/low voltage), Agriculture and Botany,(food, beauty and composting, livestock) but the most important 1 I am not sure of is HOME EC and is trivial to most human beings.
